Nissan’s e‑POWER vehicle production passes 1.5 million milestone

YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan today announced that cumulative global production of its e‑POWER vehicles surpassed 1.5 million units as of the end of October. At present, e‑POWER vehicles are sold in 68 markets around the world.

A unique Nissan technology, e‑POWER uses a small capacity gasoline engine and lithium ion battery to power an electric motor – the electric motor alone drives the wheels. This results in an electric-vehicle driving experience, characterized by powerful and responsive acceleration yet quietness.

Nissan launched e‑POWER first in Japan in 2016 with the Note e‑POWER. Availability of the innovative powertrain has since been expanded to the Kicks and X‑Trail sport-utility vehicles and the Serena minivan. In fiscal year* 2023, 42.6% of Nissan vehicles sold in Japan were e‑POWER.

In China, e‑POWER became available in 2021 with the Sylphy e‑POWER sedan and it is now also available on the X‑Trail SUV.

In Europe, e‑POWER versions of the X‑Trail and Qashqai SUVs were launched in 2022, with a total of more than 100,000 units sold as of January.

Nissan plans to launch e‑POWER in the U.S. and Canada by the end of fiscal year 2026.

Nissan will continue to enhance e‑POWER’s appeal and competitiveness to meet the wide-ranging needs of customers around the world.
